Where I swam today felt cold. I started getting in the water slowly but it was too cold. Instead, I swung off the dock and splashed in. It was cold much longer after that. Lesson learned :)
Every day has something in it for us. Whether good or bad happens, the day has something to take in. Every day, taking in what we can makes us better people. Learn from the good. Show up in the bad. Keep moving forward and glean everything possible from each day.
